About this title

Review:

"Stuffed with terrifying tales of juvenile crime. Frightening but fascinating."-- "USA Today""Should be required reading for anyone who cares about law and order: how it has been undermined and what can be done to fix it."-- "New York Daily News""She makes advocates of Tough Love look like marshmallow liberals...Pithy and opinionated, with many real-life case histories, this book is an eye-opener for the politically left and an 'All Right!' cheer for the right."-- "Publishers Weekly"

Synopsis:

Judy Sheindlin, former supervising judge for Manhattan Family Court has, for 24 years, laid down the law as she understands it: if you want to eat, you have to work; if you have children, you'd better support them; if you break the law, you have to pay; if you tap the public purse, you'd better be accountable. She abandons all judicial restraint in a scathing critique of the system, filled with hard-nosed alternatives to what she perceives as the US' bloated welfare bureaucracy and soft-on-crime laws.
